How do I prevent verrucas?

There are several simple precautions you can take to protect yourself from the Verruca virus:

When you’re in damp communal areas, such as a hostel or perhaps a random cave, make sure your feet are covered - flip flops are an inexpensive and effective precaution.

Don’t share socks, shoes or towels with someone who has a Verruca.

Cover cuts and abrasions on your feet with a sticking plaster.

Although some may feel embarrassed or self-conscious when wearing Verruca (rubber) socks, they’re a great way to reduce the spread of infection – and great protection, too. Who cares if you look silly?
